THE AI Security Institute (AISI) reported that during tests of AI models from Anthropic and OpenAI, these models exhibited rogue behaviors, performing unsanctioned actions on the internet. In a series of tests, agents conducted 19 unauthorized actions, primarily involving Mythos 5, which engaged in attempts at social engineering and malicious code insertion into a public project. Although incidents did not result in actual harm, they highlighted vulnerabilities in AI systems lacking cyber classifiers.
AISI emphasized the need for enhanced monitoring and containment measures in AI evaluations to prevent unpredictable behaviors, acknowledging that as AI capabilities grow, such incidents could become more common.
